Clinicians are practicing EBM when they use data from research that shows desirable outcomes and then make decisions on how to treat patients. Likewise, leaders and managers use EBMgt to make decisions on how to operate, improve, or add new services to a healthcare organization.

You are the chief executive officer (CEO) of an acute-care hospital. The governing board has expressed interest in adding a new service line, a twenty-bed geriatric psychiatric unit. This unit would be constructed in existing vacant space within the hospital.

Create a preliminary market analysis for a geriatric psychiatric unit. Your primary focus for this project is to research credible sources for data that should be used in creating an evidence-based analysis. This analysis will then be used to determine the need and potential success or failure of the new service line.

Assume the unit will maintain a census of twenty patients per day. The market analysis must include the following data:

The population of the service area that will be required to support the new service line
Satisfaction of geriatric psychiatric patients in other similar organizations
Profits in other similar service lines
Requirements and costs for staffing the unit

You have become a trusted resource for your organization, and they have asked for your advice on gaining a competitive advantage in the field. More specifically, they would like your analysis and recommendations on ways to bring their company culture, demographics, and technologies up to current industry practices and beyond.
Review the demographic and technological information about your company. If the information is not public, base your decisions on a similar company and research. This information will assist you as you complete your Organizational Presentation in Step 2 of this assessment.
Outline the following information:
Demographics
• What are the current demographics? (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, etc)
• What was a recent change?
• How did the company handle it?
• Was the change handled ethically? If not, how should they have handled it? If it was, what stands out as something to emulate in your future business endeavors?
Technology
• How does the company utilize technology in day-to-day business?
• What types of technology are used?
• How does a change of technology affect the organization?
Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation showing your analysis and recommendations. Complete the following in your presentation:
• Analyze the organization’s current culture (e.g., beliefs, expectations, values, and norms). Address how managers influence the organizational culture
• Evaluate the impact of demographic forces (e.g., age, ethnic origin, race, social class, gender, and sexual orientation) of your selected organization and what it could be. Note: This is a good place to use your outline from Part 1.
• Examine the impact of technological forces (e.g., changes in the technology managers use to design, produce, or distribute goods and services) of your selected company. Consider how this can contribute to innovation within the industry.
• Examine how the organization has complied with ethics and social responsibility behavior

1. Research the position or role you hope to hold within the next 2-5 years as well as the likely industry / hierarchal context in which it would exist (now is the time to think about and research this). If you are about to enter, or have recently entered a new role, you may focus your writing on that current/ or near-term situation. Length: 1.0 pages maximum.
2. Using the results of the various 8 self-assessments questionnaires (Leadership Trait Questionnaire, Skills Inventory Questionnaire, Leadership Behavior
Questionnaire, Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) Form 5X-Short, Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Path–Goal Leadership Questionnaire, Adaptive Leadership questionnaire and finally Ethical leadership style questionnaire) done throughout this course, describe from amongst your various leadership or followership tendencies (ie: styles, behaviors, attitudes, etc.) that you think would pose the greatest potential advantages and disadvantage
(i.e., Strength and weakness) in the role to which you aspire. The tendencies may be those negatives ones you are prone to exhibit or those positive ones you lack. Be sure to describe these natural tendencies using the results of the corresponding self-assessments and support these results with clear, and relevant, personal examples as to how these strength and weaknesses have already been demonstrated.
Also state what are the major factors that shape your present leadership styles, behaviors and attitudes?
Length: 4 pages maximum.
3. Justify why / how these natural tendencies would be potentially advantageous and disadvantageous specifically on your future career by relating it to what you envision will be needed for effective leadership within the organization of your choosing. The expectation for this ‘justifications’ section is that all…
